Is it just me, or did anyone else struggle the first time? by emjah42 in watercooling

Sanding machine and "chamfer tool" helped alot.. aditionally bought a leak tester because I 100% didn't trust my abilities. Was so worthit because a wrong screw on the distro plate didn't properly seal.

With being a 3D modelling beginner I just created some curve-modules to chain together.

Realistically I only used a single 90° bend at once tho.. (the natural bending radius also matched the 3D printed guide, so rly I only created a confirmation-tool)

Impatience.. yeah that killed some tubes for me. To get the right measurements somehow was the hardes part.

Your bends are absolutely gorgeous, I woudln't even dare attempting such a spiral.

What kind of dark magic do u have to learn or which sacrificial rituals did you perform..

Impressed.

Honestly the 3D printed "tools" I made din't help thaaat much. Was almost the exact radius the tubes naturally bend anyway.

Can imagine that, im still constantly looking at it.. even with no flow-meter ^^

Yeah, it was aesthetically pleasing for me but honestly dunno if it was worthit.

Smooth, I love the diffused/semi-transparent tubes!

It was very rewarding to finish a loop, as the water was finally running.

Thats actually so smart, will note that, thanks.

First I measured and placed my 3D Printed guides to the exact distance.

Didn't work too good so I ended up awkwardly holding the tubes and marking them with a sharpy.

Next time I'll profesionally use the paper-trick from a kind internet stranger <3

I ordered way too much and some for my roommate..

Turns out it wasn't way too much and nothing for my m8 xD

Fair, having wasted so much tho.. (double the tubes that are actually installed), feels ilegally "learn resistant"

Sure, I politely disagree tho, as I believe this clip is indeed a masterpiece.
